Tehran, YJC. An Iranian governmental official said on Saturday that Iran expects Germany can regain its share in Iranian market after the positive developments in talks over Iran's nuclear energy program.

Before economic sanctions were imposed on Tehran by the
West, Germany used to be one of Iran’s major trade partners and enjoyed a great
share of the Iranian market, said Iranian Vice-President for Women and Family
Affairs Shahindokht Molaverdi.

"In recent years, the country has lost its place in the Iranian
market, and given progresses made in nuclear negotiations (between Tehran and
world powers), it is expected that Germany can regain its previous position in
Iran’s economy,” the Iranian vice president said.

The official made the remarks in a meeting with the visiting Vice
Speaker of Germany’s Parliament Claudia Roth here in Tehran.

Negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five
permanent UNSC members plus Germany) aim to hammer out a final agreement to end
more than a decade of impasse over Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program.

"During the nuclear talks, Germany, as one of the
(negotiating) parties, had a good cooperation with Iran,” she noted.

At the meeting , the German official said that the progress
in nuclear negotiations would be a success for Iran, Germany, and even the
Europe.

"Only one step left to reach final result,” Roth stressed.

Elsewhere in her remarks, the Iranian official also raised
concern over growing violence in the region and the world, specially against
women and children, and called for the international efforts to remove the
grounds for the spread of violence against women and children.
